I’ve finally started making a few changes to my Windows Vista setup. One of the most annoying recurring problems I’ve had is that User Account Control, which is designed to protect your computer from unauthorized changes isn’t very intelligent and doesn’t learn from past behaviour. So, if you will constantly have to approve certain programs.

I’ve decided to turn User Account Control off. Yes, there’s a risk that I might be leaving my machine vulnerable but I’m pretty careful so I’m confident I’ll be ok. Disabling UAC is pretty easy:

  1. Go the control panel and click on ‘User Accounts and Family Safety’
  2. Click ‘User Accounts’ and find your account
  3. Then select ‘Turn User Account Control on or off’
  4. Click through the prompts and then ten restart your computer when prompted
